If I Were a Wolf...

A free verse poem written as if a humans mind was transplanted into a wolf's body.

White Wolf. The White Wolf Pack. Web. 28 Feb. 2014. .

If I Was a WolfIf I was a wolf...I would not feel any emotion.I would only feel pain and the urge to survive.On some days I would gladly take this offer.

If I was a wolf...I would not be worried about what other people thought of me.I would fit in my place in the hierarchy of the pack.And I know I would make it to alpha.

If I was a wolf...I would not be stressed about getting good grades in school.I would only care about the grade of hunting I brought back to feed my pack.This seems so much simpler than the life of a human.

If I was a wolf...I would not be bothered by the words of scorn that come from guys around me.I would have my eternal partner at my side forever.*No more broken hearts.

If I was a wolf...I would be a white wolf with eyes blue as ice.With teeth just as sharp.My only accessories would be my wits and my coat

If I was a wolf...I would not know the cruelty of the females of mankind.I would only know the teamwork of my pack.*Backstabbing is not second nature to a wolf.

If I was a wolf...I would be 110 pounds- of mid-size*I would not be judged about my weight.Weighing more means you are a good hunter.

If I was a wolf...I would howl my own music.And my pack would come back to me*I would not be left by my friends as I always am.

If I was a wolf...I would not know the word forever.The only time I would comprehend is now.For forever is a lie

If I was a wolf...I could not talk and unleash horrible words to wreak my life.If I was a wolf...I would never have a mask, my actions would betray my true emotions.

If I was a wolf...I would appreciate life so much more

If I was a wolf...I would follow my instincts and be as far away from the horrible species that is ﻿homo sapiens﻿

I would never be alone.My barks would warn my enemies.*My whimpers would cause my whole pack to gather around me.*My ears back would have everyone running for cover*My dancing would find me a playmate*And my howls would locate my pack*

But I am a human...

I am alone...My growls incite my enemies to come closer.My anger causes others to laugh. And my best friends to leave me.My searches for a friend always come up empty handed.My screams for help get ignored.And my tears... they are shed far too much...And for what reason?

For a friend that I betrayed and cannot convince them of my worthiness of their attention.
